Answer 1

Solved in CentOS 7 with Apache 2.4.6

My whole server uses Python 2.7, but I've already installed Python 3.6 and my virtualenv is using Python 3.6.

After configured djang.conf (/etc/httpd/conf.d/django.conf) with this code:

WSGIDaemonProcess myProj python-home=/home/user/django-site/env python-path=/home/user/django-site
WSGIProcessGroup myProj
WSGIScriptAlias /myProj /home/user/django-site/my-project/wsgi.py


Alias /static /home/user/django-site/static

    Require all granted



    
        Require all granted
    

And restarted my apache

sudo systemctl restart httpd

I got this error a thousand lines (/var/log/httpd/error_log)

ImportError: No module named site
ImportError: No module named site
ImportError: No module named site
ImportError: No module named site

The solution

First:

sudo grep wsgi /var/log/httpd/error_log

I got this:

[mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 62324] AH00163: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/7.0.33 mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.5 configured -- resuming normal operations

Note the Python version (2.7.5). What I did to get mod_wsgi according to my Python 3.6 is using:

yum list *mod_wsgi*
Installed packages
mod_wsgi.x86_64                          3.4-18.el7                          @base
Disponible packages
python35u-mod_wsgi.x86_64                4.6.2-1.ius.centos7                 ius
python36u-mod_wsgi.x86_64                4.6.2-1.ius.centos7                 ius

and then I installed the package python36u-mod_wsgi.x86_64:

sudo yum install python36u-mod_wsgi.x86_64

Then I restarted Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

And got this new line from logs:

[Fri Mar 29 12:33:26.788716 2019] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 76317] AH00163: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/7.0.33 mod_wsgi/4.6.2 Python/3.6 configured -- resuming normal operations

And everything works! :-)

Hope it helps you. C ya!
